Tech to check late comers in BBMP offices

During recent raids on the East Zone headquarters and the Dasarhalli zonal office, members of the Standing Committee on Personnel and Administrative Reforms found that many officers came late.

According to the Committee Chairman Lakshmikanth Reddy, in Mayo Hall on December 2, only 10 percent of employees had signed the attendance register till 10.30 am. By 11.30 am, only 30 percent attendance was recorded.

Though 358 people work at Mayo Hall office, only 96 people had come to work that morning.
Committee members said most of the staff missing during morning hours at the Mayo Hall office were Group ‘C’ and ‘D’ employees, mainly clerks and lower rung officers.

At the Dasarahalli zone head office on December 8, only four percent attendance was recorded on time. Only 38 of the 68 staff signed in the register till 11.45 pm with the rest missing the day’s work.

“In fact, we saw four people had signed for the next day on December 8 itself,” said Reddy. The committee has now recommended notices be issued to all the officials who arrived late and missed day’s work.

The Committee also stated that gross irregularities were noticed even in the use of  Prahari vehicles, which were to be used for emergency purposes.

The Committee has approved the recruitment of 350 gardeners for the Horticulture Department.
